Philippeck members of council 74 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:26,620 So the different vape shops and the head shops and the gas stations that are selling the different Delta 8, Delta 9 variants of usually below 0.03% THC or equal to 0.0HC which is legal on how I know that right now the governor and the legislature are maybe looking at that to try to change that which I really believe that they should, but until that time those products are legal. 75 00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:30,900 That's what's being sold in the area between those vape shops and 76 00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,380 the gas stations and convenience stores. 77 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,300 Other than that, nothing illegal right now, but we are keeping our eye on that. 78 00:04:38,140 --> 00:04:38,980 Okay, thank you. 79 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:39,920 Council. 80 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,240 Mr. President? 81 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:41,800 Yes. 82 00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:43,340 I have a question for the law director. 83 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,720 You have it down at six months. 84 00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:49,880 Is there a reason, or for the time table, six months? 85 00:04:51,220 --> 00:04:56,520 To me, a year would be more appropriate because if there was something we have to change, it has a legislative body. 86 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,120 maybe we could always go back and change it. 87 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,460 So having to review this every six months. 88 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Well, yes. 89 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,800 The moratorium, again, was to allow forth police department review 90 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,300 and as indicated, I think there were some issues with 91 00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:10,420 up to the business operations. 92 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,360 It's really Council's judgment as to how long its comfort level 93 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,380 is for the administration and yourselves 94 00:05:17,380 --> 00:05:21,200 to look at these businesses from a zoning perspective 95 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,440 and ascertain whether some further controls 96 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,020 may be required or or or relative to the districts in which they locate. 97 00:05:30,020 --> 00:05:37,580 A year-long moratorium is a little unusual, not necessarily unlawful, but certainly a little unusual. 98 00:05:38,260 --> 00:05:43,360 I would suggest that if it comes, I'd recommend the six months, a little bit more norm. 99 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,780 We're looking at these types of zoning moratoriums. 100 00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:50,440 And as you approach the end of that period, it may be that additional time is necessary 101 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,840 for further research and study, in which case council can always extend the moratorium, 102 00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:04,940 if it's warranted based on that review process, but the idea being that the process should 103 00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:15,440 start in somewhat expeditious manner and continue on so that a business that may be interested 104 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:24,680 an expanding is an unduly burdened by not being able to do so, and likewise, property owners 105 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,000 and businesses looking to locate, you know, have a fairly short horizon as to whether they 106 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,360 may be able to do so. So, again, I certainly recommend the six months, although it's certainly 107 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,420 counsel's discretion to bump that out a little bit. But I would suggest that you may want to 108 00:06:38,420 --> 00:06:41,620 revisit in four or five months and see where the process is coming along. 109 00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,540 I believe it was Brunswick but that may have also been car washes because that was another 110 00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:08,180 thing that was discussed I have to research it and see okay well as long as you think 111 00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:11,220 I think it's six months is okay, we've always revisited. 112 00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:12,440 We'll put car washes in the table. 113 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:12,960 We've got to do. 114 00:07:13,980 --> 00:07:14,860 All right, thank you, sir. 115 00:07:15,460 --> 00:07:15,780 All of you. 116 00:07:15,940 --> 00:07:16,540 Move to suspend. 117 00:07:16,820 --> 00:07:18,800 Second, Julie, please call the roll. 118 00:07:19,620 --> 00:07:20,360 This is Dallin. 119 00:07:20,620 --> 00:07:21,340 Yes, Mr. Freeman. 120 00:07:21,620 --> 00:07:21,740 Yes. 121 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,380 Mr. Croixer. 122 00:07:22,540 --> 00:07:22,680 Yes. 123 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,260 Mr. Krieger. 124 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:23,600 Yes. 125 00:07:23,780 --> 00:07:24,020 Mr. Marn. 126 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,380 Yes. 127 00:07:24,620 --> 00:07:24,760 Mr. Blake. 128 00:07:24,980 --> 00:07:25,140 Yes. 129 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:25,740 Mr. Donovan. 130 00:07:25,860 --> 00:07:26,000 Yes. 131 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,080 Move to approve. 132 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:27,480 Second. 133 00:07:27,940 --> 00:07:29,060 Julie, please call the roll. 134 00:07:29,620 --> 00:07:30,120 This is Dallin. 135 00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:30,980 Yes, Mr. Freeman. 136 00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:33,980 Mr. Chairman?

I also counsel happy to say that we've been working with first 268 00:14:48,410 --> 00:14:53,710 energy on a plan to completely relocate the power line entering the marina 269 00:14:53,710 --> 00:14:58,210 and nature preserve. We've talked about this in the past as an option.
